Handloaded 300 BLK cost

[toddrod]

I did some figuring and my hand cast 150g powder coated rounds are costing about $2.22 / 20 rounds. That will get my son alot of trigger time before next hunting season.

yeah, no doubt casting my own bullets for 300blk has afforded me more trigger time with an AR while making me feel cooler than an ar with a .22lr conversion. Its become my go-to plinking rifle for sure!

Are you loading for subsonic velocities?

 

[toddrod]

I will do some subsonics (Lee 220g bullet) but most will be supersonic loadings

I'm loading 125 gr and 110 gr for around .50/rd

I'm estimating that i'm going about $.35-.40/ round using the Hornady SSTs. I was wondering the powder coated rounds could be used for 1900 fps or if the OP has issues with leading.

The other day a fellow asked me if I saved money reloading ? I told him the truth....No , not really, but you do wind up shooting more after the cost of equipment and supplies are factored in. I just wish the companies would stop coming out with new, improved, got-to-have , tools, gadgets, gizmo's and all manner of measuring devices....I have been buying reloading stuff since 1967 and still keep finding things I "can't do without".
Now that I think about it ...you don't save any money at all, but it is a fun hobby.

You can save a lot of money if you shoot enough.

You can save a lot of money if you shoot enough.

Yes , that and if you don't keep spending money on the latest tools. My downfall is bullet moulds, I keep finding new ones to try...and Lee's $20.00 double cavities are just addictive...I need an intervention!
